Women's Tennis Tops Whitworth in NWC Tournament Semifinals

WALLA WALLA, Wash. - For the second straight season, the Whitman College women's tennis team will play for the Northwest Conference Tournament title, advancing on Saturday with a dominant 5-0 win over Whitworth in the league tournament semifinals held at the Whitman Tennis Courts.

The Pirates posed some threat in doubles action but ultimately the Blues won all three matches to take a commanding lead. The victories on the No. 1 and No. 2 courts ensured the Blues the lead through doubles as the team of Teleya Blunt and Arianna Castellanos won at the one 8-5, and Jin Yu and Grace Carter won by the same score at the two. 

With the match played to decision, singles play went swiftly as the Blues dominated at fifth and sixth singles to clinch the win and end the match. Ilina Jha topped Oliver Paige 6-1, 6-0 at the two, and Yu won at love over Natalie Budge on the No. 3 court to send Whitman to the championship match.

The Blues will now face the winner of George Fox and Pacific playing in the other semifinal match. Start time for the final is set for 12:00 p.m.
